Allow me to introduce you to the Jakes an Indie band from my home state California. The Jakes meet my friend musically inclined and educated reader, musically inclined educated reader, meet the very sweet-hearted, sincere, and talented band the Jakes. Great, now that we're all friends let me tell you this very short album is an absolute jem. It's everything Maroon 5 wanted to be, with all the nostalgic pop cred Vampire Weekend can muster. Cough Syrup is a sweet pick me up on a sad day "life's to short to even care at all" while Take me Home is a profound and simple acoustic with beautiful honest lyrics. Please friends, enjoy.
sounds like: Ra Ra Riot, Vampire Weekend, the Grammatics
Woosh
